Gidget's goodies; our first harvest for the Golden Hill Farmers Market

We waited until evening to harvest for tomorrow's market, we want everything to be as fresh as possible.

When it came time to harvest Gidget said "Leaf me alone."

We started with the Roma tomatoes. 

For the most part they are looking beautiful. 

Roma tomatoes and a pepper of some sort. 

Gidget woke up to supervise the harvest - she's not impressed

After the Romas we moved to the Japanese eggplant, I thought we had 2 for sale but one is bug bitten so we'll  eat that one ourselves, after cutting the bug bite off.

The second Japanese eggplant was perfect. It's for sale. The only one. 

A Japanese cucumber - for sale. We kept a few others that weren't as pretty but we are sure will be just  as tasty. 

Purple Podded Pole Beans

We found some purple podded pole and other green beans. Enough to add to one of our signature baskets, for eating raw (my favorite way) but not enough for a whole side dish yet. We will have though - two weeks, maybe three.

The first common eggplant

We are selling this eggplant, Farmer D recently told me that he is not a big fan of eggplant so - grab it up, and tell me that is was fabulous.

We are bringing 8 red cherry tomatoes, and splitting them up in a couple of our signature baskets .

Space Master cucumber - we will have several of these.
